Fire Destroys Mill and Wheat to the
Amount of $4,000.
ALBERT LEA, Mimi, Nov. 8.-Shortly
after II p. m. fire was discovered in the
fourth story of the large brick steam
fiouring-mill. An alarm brought out the
fire company, but their gallant efforts
were Intellectual. The fire was uncon-
querable and soon filed the building, and
spread so fast that in less than two hours
the immense structure, with the adjacent
warehouse, containing $4,000 bushels of
wheat, was complete ruin. The mill
was first-class, costing $50, 600. The en-
CINE and boiler are damaged badly, but
not ruined. The total loss is $50, 600; in
surance 900 on mill and $8, 800 on
wheat. The cause of the fire is mys-
terry. 1t was first seen in the top story
and was not likely of incendiary origin.
The mill was owned by the Albert Lea
Mill company. 1t will be rebuilt on o
larger plan immediately.

Gus Senieur's Success.

Our fellow citizen and enterprising
contractor, Mr.. Gus. Senieur, is entitled
to much credit for the work he has done
on the building of Messrs. j. Fl. Nc
Knight s. Co. at Great Falls. This is by
far the handsomest structure in that town
and is now nearing completion. It was
designed by Mr.. Senieur and built under
his personal supervision, and he is natur-
ally a little proud of the achievement.
The building is 3ox100 feet in dimensions
and two stories In height. The front is
finished in galvanized iron, with iron pill
lars and large plate glass windows, pre-
senting a very attractive appearance. It is
constructed of brick of a deep red color
ana looms up c~onspicuously among the
surrounding structures. The first floor
and basement will be used by Mr.. Nc
knight, who already has his stock of gen.
eral merchandise on the ground, while the
upstairs, which is divided into suitable
rooms, will be used for offices, most of
them being already leased. Mr.. Senieur
expects to have the. building completed
the present month and then he will return
to his first love, Fort Benton.-Ft. Benton

The Wool Market.

Boston, Aug. 26.-The wool market
this week has shown a considerable less
activity than even a week ago, but this
quietness is accounted for in some meas
ure by the very bad weather which has
prevailed during a greater part of the
time. Very few manufacturers have been
in the market this week, and in most cases
where they have about it has been more to
look up some of their former purchases
than it has been to buy more wool. Pri-
ces as a rule have been steady on the part
of dealers, and many houses refuse to sell
at the present low figures ruling. AS near
as can be ascertained all the wool selling
at the present low figures offered by man
ufacturers is at a considerable loss to the
dealer, most stocks being put in at much
higher figures han are ruling at present.
Many large lots of wool are now being
bid for by manufacturers, but the holder
to make the sale would have to be con-
siderably more out of pocket, and they
thus decline to close the transaction. pre-
ferring to run the risk and hold the wool
in anticipation Of some improvement in
the market. A difference of a cent with
the concessions on the part Of the dealer
would place large lines, but as the latter
claims that at his present asking price it
would stand him a loss of 8 cents, and he
is unwilling to make any more loss to
himself, and thus the situation hangs.

IF OUR friends, the enemy, believe
themselves, that the Statehood move
ment is an idle and vain effort, that
nothing will come from it, and that
Utah will go along IS Territory for
years, why are they so greatly exer-
eised2 It is hardly worth ones while
to work himself into a rage over mat
ter which will amount to nothing, and
it is assuredly childish and silly to COM
bat something you know in advance
will not succeed. Our friends, the
enemy, are in this matter as in all else
they do, wanting in consistency. They
do not believe themselves. They do be-
lieye the State will come, but they
haven't the courage or decency to con-
TESS their honest convictions.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-07-07

THE NEWARK, New Jersey, Advertiser
of the 30th, ult., has this to say of the
Utah Statehood movement: There is
something little peculiar about the re-
port that the Mormons are making an
effort to secure the admittance into the
Union of Utah as State. Their Con-
stitutional Convention is to be held to-
day for the purpose of forwarding the
scheme. The result of their efforts will
all depend upon the character of the
Constitution which they will adopt. All
things being equal, there is no reason
why Utah should not become a State,
providing her people will obey the laws
OF the nation. If the Mormons will
root out of their Territory that most
obnoxious of all practices, known as
polygamy, admittance into the Union
is not only possible, but probable. I'm
til this is done, however, such a pos
sibility is out of the question, and the
continuance of the practice of polygamy
only Injuries the Territory's chances in
the future"
